Both the PNC/APNU and its Region Ten Chairman, Sharma Solomon have been deceitful in their claims that the government has failed to implement the agreement signed in 2012 following the Linden electricity protests. Our research and investigation has led to the discovery of the following;
There were 9 areas of agreement in the August 22, 2012 agreement. Out of this 9, three areas fell under the responsibility of the government:
1. Maintain the electricity tariff subsidy until the completion of the work and recommendations of the Technical Committee
2. The NDIA drainage of West Watooka
3. Hand over the TV dish and transmitter to the Region Ten administration
ALL these were implemented
There were two areas which were a joint responsibility between the government and the Solomon-led Region Ten administration
1.The establishment of the chairpersons and members of the Technical Committee
2.The establishment of the chairpersons and members of the Economic Committee
This has been partially accomplished as no agreement on the Chair for both committees has been reached since the resignation of both chairmen
There were four areas which fell under the responsibility of the Region Ten administration;
1.The establishment of a Regional Land Selection Committee
2.The submission of projects for consideration while awaiting the Economic Committee’s report
3.To propose and develop modalities to work closely with the relevant Ministries and Communities
4.To apply for a TV license for the region to the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority
NONE of these have been implemented
So as you see it is Sharma Solomon and the PNC/APNU’s leadership which continues to fail the people of Linden.
